    Everything was great on the happy hour food, except the chicken chicharrones which were boring and overpriced. Get the pernil sliders instead.

    Don't bother. Horrible service. Sat for 25 minutes without even eye contact. Finally walked out and went across the street to Ocho, where in the time it took me to write this, our order was taken.
